Circuit Vision

A vision for our Circuit

We will:

  • Offer good news to our rural communities, unafraid to speak of Jesus and offering a welcome to all
  • Be light on our feet and light in our community, cherishing what is past but unafraid to change for the sake of the future
  • Ensure that the church is recognised as the people who gather rather than the building they gather in
  • Work from about 30 local churches, some of which will offer mission and ministry in more than one location, sharing resources and energy for the sake of the gospel
  • Ensure that our primary focus is always about how do we best proclaim the message:

“The Kingdom of God is at hand”

This vision was presented by the Superintendent and staff to the Circuit Meeting on 19 June 2017
